Could you explain _why_ you want to renumber the partitions? Does
something have a hardwired desire to use "partition 1" or something?
I think I need to do it because the windows partition for some reason
will not boot as partition 2 even though the boot.ini was edited to look
in partition 2 instead of partition 2.
So, I restored boot.init to look into partition 1, and then I will
try to boot windows
from the grub2 menu (which I have also edited to look into msdos1
instead of msdos2.
Not sure it will work, but worth a try.
I might save me a reinstall.
Don't forget to keep a copy of the partition table dump file when you
dump it with sfdisk. That way if there is some disaster in your edit
you can put the original back.
And don't forget that sfdisk is terribly easy to misuse. I always
quake with fear of overwriting the partition table instead of dumping
it. Read the manual entry carefully (it has examples, and this same
warning) and ensure you have the command line options right.
Nonetheless, it is still terrible useful.
Thanx. Good advice.
